Mirrors.
« on: March 05, 2019, 08:39:19 AM »
Morning. Went for a ride on my bike yesterday but all I could see out of my mirrors were my elbows! Is this as good as they get or am I particularly wide or just have them adjusted wrong?

I have always had that problem too. I now have mirrors fitted made by JAC WIN
I bought a new pair the other day for my 400 as i damaged one. Great mirrors, no elbow views.

Thanks very much Julie. I will definitely invest in a pair of them as I could see absolutely zero traffic behind me.

Hi Julie, did you buy them direct or from a supplier on eBay?

Here's the set i fitted to my 750 with offset heads, therefore gaining an extra inch. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/E-MARKED-CHROME-MIRRORS-FOR-HONDA-CB-CX-GL-CLASSIC-EARLY-STYLE-METAL-STEMS/112245127558?hash=item1a2254b986:g:wH4AAOSwUKxYi5xq.

I had a pair like yours Julie the anti vibe acorn worked quit well. Unfortanutly I whacked one and it wouldn't stay still after so ended up with DSS replica ones. They look nicer but can't see anything in them other then a blur

Bought a pair of the mirrors recommended by Julie and tried them on my bike yesterday. Much better than the other ones, so thanks very much Julie for the recommendation.
